Hi,

I am contemplating changing the head gasket on my car as I have the manifolds off and trying to sort out all the leaks...

I can't seem to access the link from the wiki as it says restricted access?

Can anyone provide me a guide on how to for this?

Thanks

I would be tempted by the old arridge "if its not broke, don't fix it"

I have a leak on timing cover if I take that off I'm a little worried it may damage the head gasket too anyway reckon I should just change the timing cover one?

Too many leaks lol decisions decisions

I don't think it will affect the head gasket so I`d be tempted to strip it down and see how it could affect your head gasket.
I would leave it alone unless you are going to re-bore or do some work on the head.
